“…Any intelligent building, commercial or residential, should have a BMS, which is like a brain, and building automation system BAS, which is like hands. Further, each intelligent building should have outdoor sensors and indoor sensors, and all can be connected and automated by a mobile application [17].…”

The results of other studies showed that the potential for electricity savings would be improved by 20% to 27.4% in the residential sector by replacing existing appliances with energy-efficient household appliances [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…The reason for this finding is that solid waste management in Lebanon captured Lebanese media and people's attention during the survey period. Around 60% of respondents do not speak or read around energy efficiency in home appliances [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Architecture always aims to find solutions for problems around the world. One of the major trends at present relates to energy consumption and climate change. Construction is responsible for 18% of CO 2 emissions. However, continuing to use fuel as a main source of energy consumption for economic reasons, as it is the cheapest raw material and most easily available material for most of the Arab countries, results in a negative environmental impact on the quality of life in these countries. This paper investigates a new design concept and decision-supporting tools for zero-energy buildings. Based on critical thinking as a new mechanism to create a hierarchy of designing a building, the research presents the experience of the author in teaching architecture courses for postgraduates for five years (ARCH 662: Architecture Design and Decision-Supporting Tools and Arch 663: Advanced Sustainable Architecture). The result of this research could be new methodologies that help and guide the architect in creating more zero-energy buildings in their countries. In addition, the spread of knowledge in the future generation of architects in architecture schools will mean that new designers believe in protecting and taking care of their environment, which will increase awareness of environmental issues and improve the quality of life in these countries.

“…Based on previous research and studies, theoretical data shows that the definition and concept of the term "Intelligent Building" is still vague. It is often used in ways that are not always consistent, as shown in Omar"s [15] research. In his research, Omar addressed multiple definitions and meanings assigned to this word.…”

The design and development of sustainable environments can be considered as a shared duty, especially in the current state of climate change and ecological awareness. The role of a few major stakeholders, such as architects, in ensuring a reliable and suitable environment design is even more critical, as the construction industry currently consumes half the energy sources globally. Therefore, improving the way in which our environment is designed challenges certain cultural systems, such as education for future architects and engineers, which currently demonstrates evident limitations. The digital transformation is increasingly affecting all aspects of life. This research focuses on new development strategies for improving functionality in existing buildings through enhancing students' ability to think critically in the face of environmental challenges, using digital processing tools to achieve a sustainable building. The research approaches are both quantitative and qualitative, with an emphasis on problem-solving (ARCH463: Intelligent Buildings). Four steps have been followed: literature review; assessment and analysis; guidelines creation; and tests and simulations. One of the results of this research is to create development strategies for the functional improvement of an existing building through promoting course and interest in the students of an elective course (ARCH463: Intelligent Buildings) in the second level of architecture in the Faculty of Architecture, Beirut Arab University, Beirut, Lebanon. Another outcome will be the practical effectiveness of new technology devices in sustainable intelligent building in the Arab countries.
